Presentation
Dennis Taylor, "The Science of Molecular Motors, Microscopes and some other very small things"

Synopsis: The presentation will delve into the history and function of various types of microscopes including light, electron and scanning tunneling microscopes. The relationship between these microscopes, their advantages and limitations, will be discussed in relation to our quest to actually see some molecular motors in action. Along the way, we will be treated to some stunning photographs and videos of the microscopic world as seen through these devices.
